Calling Spain from Germany: what to know

Spain answers on the country code +34, with the capital in Madrid and most business concentrated around Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. The working language for business is Spanish (Castilian); regional co-officials: Catalan, Galician, Basque, Valencian, and local offices generally keep hours of 10:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 in many regions, the siesta-shifted afternoon is real in Andalusia, Murcia and inland Spain. Madrid and Barcelona offices often run 9:00 to 18:00 with a one-hour lunch instead.

From Germany the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +34 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Germany and Spain.

Most mobiles in Spain sit on operators such as Movistar (Telefónica), Vodafone España, Orange España. Spanish mobile numbers are 9 digits starting with 6 or 7; landlines also 9 digits starting with 8 or 9. There are no separate trunk codes, Madrid '91' is part of the 9-digit local number, not a city prefix.

Spain runs on UTC plus 1, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
